Everyday technology is hurtling at warp speed into science fiction. Mobile’s at the forefront, but what’s next? At the hazy edges of the tech universe, emerging trends hint at the future of connected devices and even a redefinition of the very idea of user interfaces. Designer Josh Clark takes you on an expedition of this final frontier, with a bevy of practical techniques and cutting-edge examples that anticipate what comes next after mobile.

Post-PC computing is about more than just phones or tablets. See how your current work lays the foundation for a future of social devices (and why more and dumber machines will make us smarter). Learn how sensor-rich devices change the user experience, and explore how to better design for sensors. Along the way, you’ll see how games lead the fleet, how robots will help you build software, and which smart technology choices will prepare you for this future, to boldly go where no geek has gone before.
